We have had a lovely time in this beautiful cottage. We loved looking outside and seeing sheep everywhere. It was particularly amusing to have the sheep watching us as we hung washing on the line. We were pleased with how close the cottage is to the motorway while seeming secluded. The cottage is very well stocked with everything we needed and lots of other things you don't expect but are useful. having a few groceries in the fridge meant we didn't have to rush out looking for a supermarket - Thank-you for this.
We enjoyed exploring the lovely, well kept garden and running in the fields (even our 1 year old knew to watch where he walked to avoid stepping in anything unpleasant). Thank you. Annelies, Craig, Carol, Caitlin, Eleanor and Andrew from AUSTRALIA

As we saw your house on the internet we'd knew "the fairy tale- house" was the perfect place to stay for our weekend.
We celebrated our 20th honeymoon here together with our children.
And we'll be back next year, to do some more of the lovely walks in the neighborhood.
Love from Belgium!

Oswald's Lodge is a lovely cottage in beautiful surrounds. A good place to stay for visiting Kent. The cottage is comfortable and cosy and so is the garden. Everything has been taken very good care of. We thank you for the wine, the eggs, butter, milk and fruit we found here when we arrived . We enjoyed our stay at Oswald's Lodge very much!
